This is a nice fossil beetle. It is a Bark Beetle (Coleoptera) from Russia. Bark Beetles are much more common in the younger-aged Dominican Amber than in Baltic Amber. This specimen has very nice detail, and the antennae display prominently. The beetle can be seen with the naked eye in the amber piece. This is a very fine example of an Eocene Bark Beetle (close-up photo is included for free).
